Remember Padam from The Workers Cup? He's facing surgery for a serious blood flow issue to his brain — minimum $10,000, money he doesn't have. Back in Nepal, unemployed, unable to work until treated.

Remember Kenneth? He captained the team we followed in The Workers Cup. After the film, he returned to Ghana but as you'll see, life had other plans...
Kenneth is rooting for Ghana, but thinks France will lift the trophy this summer.

Our first update comes from Samuel — GCC's star goalkeeper when we shot the film. He's back home in Ghana, cheering on the Black Stars, but tips Spain to lift the trophy in 2026.
We asked him to share a bit more about his life since the film.
The FIFA World Cup kicks off Thursday. 9 years ago we made a film about the men who built the last one in Qatar. We've stayed in touch ever since and over the next few weeks we'll be sharing some their updates.
Another thousand pounds of donations in our PayPal account for the men in our film, to help them fulfil their dreams. Huge thank you to all who have chosen to support them (and us) in 2022.

The goalkeeper from The Workers Cup, Samuel, is teaching kids how to play as well as he does at Quinta Trust Academy in Ghana these days. @_QuintaTrust
